Glowing with narrator Virginia Leishman's finely tuned phrasing, The Djinn in the Nightingale's Vision is the perfect introduction to A.S. Byatt, an writer who continues to get international prizes and acclaim. Her wondrous fairy tales are iridescent experiences packed with spells, marvelous creatures, and beautiful princesses. The title tale focuses on Dr. Gillian Perholt, a narratologist. The durable, middle-aged scholar trips the world, speaking at international meetings about the fine art of storytelling. She immerses herself in the study of fabulous, archetypical heroes: patient Griselda, lovely Scheherazade, courageous Gilgamesh. However when she actually is given the fairy tale's three wishes-chances to alter her own report, the options she makes are both classic and interestingly unique. A.S. Byatt, whose imaginative novels sparkle with tiers of imagery and play, focuses on the magic that is established whenever a storyeller talks. The five experiences that comprise The Djinn in the Nightingale's Vision are as attractive and finely crafted as ivory puzzles.
